Thoughts on these names please which are our shortlist, and any other suggestions of a similar style gratefully received! Double barrelled surname so ideally we are looking for a simple shortish first name. Thanks :)

Iris, Emmie or Etta?

FayCarew · 23/09/2024 09:41

The names are extremely popular apart from Jasmine., so I'd pick that, otherwise she'll be Lily/Ella/Evie Surname all the time.

Moveoverdarlin · 23/09/2024 09:42

My favourite is Nancy. Least favourite is Lily because there’s millions of them.

Agree!

Jasmine is my favourite anyway.
Lovely name, was on my shortlist of the last 2 xx

FayCarew · 23/09/2024 12:26

I like it too.
All the names are nice, but the other 3 have been very popular for a long time.

She might be the only one in her class or group of friends but there will be several in the school/office etc.

Nancy is great. Love it.

Scorpion84 · 23/09/2024 13:32

Ella as I Have one 🤣

I loved Anna as well which is nowhere near as popular .

Jasmine because Evie and Lily have been done to death. Especially if you’re going to pair it with Rose/Grace/May she’ll be the 25th Lily Rose or Evie May in her year.

Ella is just a bit meh, and again just blends in with all the Evie’s and Ellie’s.

Theoldwoman · 23/09/2024 14:39

My youngest is Ella, she’s a young adult now and absolutely loves her name, as do I.

I love Lily, and Eve ( not Evie) not a fan of Jasmin.

Suggestions:

Nina
Zara
Rosa
Ivy
Lana
Alice
Amy
Kate
Tessa
Cali
Erin
Dana
Una
Mia
Karla
Anna
Grace
Clare

I love the name Evie, we couldn't use it as our surname is Everett but I do think it's a beautiful name.

Fontainebleau007 · 23/09/2024 14:40

Ella or Jasmine

UmbrellaEllaEllaElla · 23/09/2024 14:43

They're all overused.

If I had to choose, Jasmine

I like all of your name ideas! My order of preference would be -

  1. Ella - beautiful classic - I know El names are very popular but this is my favourite of them if the popularity doesn’t bother you.
  2. Lily - so pretty. Very popular but not as much as names beginning with El or Ev (when you combine all the variations of Eleanor, Evelyn, Eve, Ellie …)
  3. Evie - love this name, but unfortunately it’s so overused round me. Eve is my favourite of the Ev names, and would beat Ella if it was an option 😊
  4. Jasmine - this wins on being least overused, and is nice, but not as lovely as the others imo.

I really love Ella. Short, sweet and classy. Feminine without being too frilly!

PolaroidPrincess · 24/09/2024 06:58

Evie was so popular around here a few years ago that I did begin to wonder if it had become compulsory.

I love Jasmine from your list, it's probably the one you'll meet fewer of too.

sel2223 · 24/09/2024 14:26

Jasmine is my daughters middle name so I vote for that!
